Lucky Brand's 181 Relaxed is the style pick for men who want a roomy jean that still looks like a fashion jean. Lucky describes it as a roomy straight leg jean cut loose for everyday comfort, a laid-back mid rise fit with room to move. It is the only jean here with an 18 3/4 inch leg opening, wider than the 17 inches Ariat and AE publish, and the rise is 11 1/2 inches. The denim is 99% cotton and 1% elastane, which Lucky calls comfort stretch with just the right amount of give, and it has a button-and-zip fly with 5-pocket styling. Lucky lists a $99.00 comp. value and showed a $74.25 price on November 13, 2026. Free ground shipping applies to U.S. orders over $85. The size range was not in the product text we could read, so check the size chart before ordering.
